Kidless Camping – White River National Forest
There are a few childfree groups in the Denver area. None of them are quite as active or organized as we’d like. This was our second outing with this particular group. That is not for a lack of trying; we’ve tried to go on this dog-friendly camping trip several times, but we could never get…
Hot Springs and would-be Jeepin’ Things
Last September, we saw the Great Sand Dunes (National Park) and other stuff in that area. Based entirely on a video by Elsa & Barron, we stayed at “The Greenhouse” hot springs in Hooper, CO. We had an amazing time. So this year, when some camping friends wanted to do that same trip for a…
Fall Wine 2209 – Part Four of Four
Day Thirteen Mancos to Hooper, CO What a beautiful early-Fall drive over the Wolf Creek Pass! Just before we got to Durango, we saw 30 or more Ferraris (and one Porche) traveling together. Our best guess is that it was a car club. I tried to find them on the dash cam, but couldn’t…and then…
Fall Wine 2209 – Part Three
Day Nine Breaking down camp takes longer when things are muddy, but we were still out of there by 10:45am. The first part of the drive was boring, but then it got pretty. We planned a six hour day: drive for 2 hours, stop at a national park for 2 hours, and drive for 2…
Fall Wine 2209 – Part Two
Day Five Palisade CO to Hanksville UT Our drive was mostly boring and windy, but there were a few spots worth grabbing off the dash cam. At least the drive was short, we drove from 11am-3pm and took a nice lunch break, too. The wind really takes it out of me, especially when driving a…
Fall Wine 2209 – friends, wine, parks, & springs – Part One
Our “fall wine” trip is kicked off by the big wine festival in Palisade…a festival we aren’t going to. We are going with the same Meetup that went to Palisade in June, so we plan to have just as much fun (…or more since the bigot and his wife aren’t going. My only disappointment is…
baby’s first Big Western Circle Trip – Part Eight of Eight
Day Twenty Six Rangely CO to Steamboat Springs CO The bad: Some muther-effin’ graffiti on some of the landscape was one of the first things we saw when we pulled out of town. At least someone made it funny (and more truthful). Now, a scout group or something needs to come remove it altogether. More…
baby’s first Big Western Circle Trip – Part Seven
Day Twenty Four Moab UT to Rangely CO This travel day was short, but it was a lot. First fun thing was that we saw a motorhome named Millennial Falcon. We hit another wave of unsafe AF drivers, too. As if we can go faster than the truckers in front of us. The very bare…
baby’s first Big Western Circle Trip – Part Four
Day Twelve After breakfast, we gathered our adventure stuff and headed to Blue Heart Kayaking. In a tandem kayak, we did 5miles of the Snake River including the Blue Heart Spring and a circle around Ritter Island (which is a state park). We were already booked, so the staffer didn’t need to sell us on…
